Not even trying to defend the Oilers, as I said I hope they beat the hawks and lose in round 1 of the playoffs, because I do NOT want them in the lottery.
The experience angle is baloney, in the last 4 seasons the Hawks lost in round 1 twice and missed the playoffs the last 2 seasons, where was the experience then? Experience is all relative, this is just a case of one team being better than the other. The hawks have been on the decline for a few years now. They simply aren't what they used to be, the NHL expanded the format to 24 teams vs 22 or 20 because the Hawks and Habs were 23 and 24, 2 large viewing markets.
